Ghosted Roads

Returning to Willow Creek wasn't exactly in my life plan. I left my small town for the big city, chasing dreams and leaving behind memories I swore I'd never revisit. But now I'm back, tasked with handling my mother's estate and navigating a labyrinth of family secrets, small-town gossip, and a house full of memories that seem determined to drag me into the past. And then there's Cole Anderson-the one who got away and the one who, apparently, never left. Our paths weren't supposed to cross again, yet here we are, both tangled in old hurts and unresolved tension that crackles in the air. He's charming, infuriating, and stubborn as ever, and no amount of my trying to ignore him can stop my heart from racing every time he walks in. We both know some ghosts refuse to rest, and as we face both the echoes of our past and the whispers of everyone in this town, I have to decide if I'm here to make peace with my memories...or make new ones. With Cole right in the center of it all, this journey home might be a road I can't turn back from.
